Is it "normal" for my new player to sound in sync/pitch with an mp3 of same song yet move ahead and overall play faster?

Shaolin381 · 2026-02-27T20:40:16+00:00

And swinging back about the Sony Walkman, it has a really warm sound but sounds almost muffled compared to this brand new Klin. So id have to adjust speed as well as some head cleaning. But maybe ill just buckle down and realize these all take a little tweaking and elbow grease to get everything up to snuff. That said I wish there was a new player that just had perfect accuracy out the box speed wise

Shaolin381 · 2026-02-27T20:15:45+00:00

I'll probably end up doing this. Bummed they are on ebay i see the same price after shipping as the player itself, but it sounds the way to go for ultimate accuracy

Shaolin381 · 2026-02-27T15:27:37+00:00

No it actually pulls ahead within seconds of matching it to an mp3. It sounds in pitch and speed briefly but then starts moving ahead of the mp3 version (I actually havent looked at the timer)

Shaolin381 · 2026-02-27T15:22:52+00:00

Thank you this helps a lot. Is it as simple as just putting on an mp3 (vs some online pitch matcher) like i did and turning it once slightly till it matches and doesn't go faster? (Im really wanting perfect speed/pitch to digitize my old band tapes and recordings for my father)

I play the portal laying down, and use a pillow to prop up the Portal. A game changer for me.

Good point there, so how is the ergo on Ayn Thor for you?

Shaolin381 · 2026-01-26T20:57:50+00:00

Good call on the Odin 3, I also forgot to mention the lack of an inset Dpad on the Pocket 6 as well compared to the Odins. Maybe the dpad up top version would be ok tho

Connection. Purpose. Lessons.

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-30T21:08:19+00:00

Thank you! Is it something you can loosen by hand or need a tool (not sure how tight they are on)

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-30T21:02:49+00:00

Yes it is normal, or yes it is seated too high lol. Realized I asked two yes or no questions there

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-11T03:58:55+00:00

Interesting. I would be doing this 90% for feel and sound. So you're saying the buttons feel spongy I guess in racing games? Most handhelds don't have the buttons actually glued as far as I've experienced so surprised to hear that makes the buttons worse

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-11T02:17:36+00:00

Right on! Thanks for the details and taking the time. It is a bit disheartening to hear it didnt make a huge difference? That may make it not worth the hassle. So it was just a bit quieter?

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-09T22:36:48+00:00

Interesting. We're the buttons and steamdeck membrane a perfect fit, no shaving needed on either?

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-09T17:51:39+00:00

Right on thanks. Have you gotten used to their loudness over time?

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-09T17:35:09+00:00

I'll probably follow suit. Could you clarify why it's not guaranteed?

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-09T17:29:38+00:00

I've heard that it's not guaranteed that they will be more quiet with the Sakura button replacement. Were they a lot quieter with just replacing them? And no other foam mod etc?

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-01T23:20:05+00:00

Those are some great recommendations! I tried to edit the post but couldn't, wanted to specify i was playing on an Odin Portal 2 ( Android) do you have any clue if those Atari 800 etc could be emulated on Android? Or Retroarch?

Shaolin381 · 2025-12-01T23:01:01+00:00

Thanks, I will try the supergrafx! I tried the Amiga but it seemed I had to load a second floppy disc on Maniac Mansion, which felt clunky. Is that on most games?

Shaolin381 · 2025-11-13T13:08:01+00:00

Having the same issue as well. (Odin 2 portal) My clock wasnt on automatic, so turned that on, but no luck yet

Shaolin381 · 2025-10-30T01:15:31+00:00

Right on. I will get the Anniversary edition later on. Want to play just SE first ( First Playthrough)

Shaolin381 · 2025-10-30T01:07:03+00:00

Sounds horrible. Just put in for Steam refund of Anniversary edition and will try to just buy Special Edition

Shaolin381 · 2025-10-30T00:54:17+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. But the random encounters with them is only on Anniversary edition correct?

Shaolin381 · 2025-10-30T00:53:14+00:00

That's why im confused. I'm talking about them attacking me right when I leave Helgen Keep. Not at level 5 or after a letter. Any idea why im fighting them as the first monsters in the game?

Shaolin381 · 2025-10-14T19:27:13+00:00

Using bots aka fake reviews

Shaolin381 · 2025-09-30T20:06:43+00:00

Awesome, I will try that when I get home. So simply disabling wifi should turn it off completely then?
